OLIVER HOLT AT HILL DICKINSON STADIUM: The resurrection of
Manchester United under
Michael Carrick continued on a damp‚ dank Monday evening on the banks of the Mersey when his club found a way to conquer new ground in enemy territory.
United's scrappy‚ gutsy‚ hard-fought 1-0 victory was their fifth win in six games since
Carrick took charge of the club and lifted them above
Chelsea into fourth place in the
Premier League. They are now only three points behind
Aston Villa‚ who are third. It was
United's first appearance at
Everton's magnificent new Hill Dickinson Stadium and they did not waste any time
breaking their duck here. It felt for a long time as if the match was drifting towards a draw but
United ended that impression with a brilliant second-half break-away goal.
